Released in May 1982, Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a
Drowning Witch marks Frank Zappa's entrance into the
1980s. From this point on, his rock records would focus
on single, simple rock songs (the previous year's You
Are What You Is had them organized in interconnecting
suites) with occasionally more complex instrumental
numbers. The recipe would be extended to The Man From
Utopia (1983) and Them or Us (1984). Side one features
three studio songs that would never be performed on
stage. By 1981, Zappa had become a master at
manipulating vocal tracks, a technique featured in each
of them, but most successfully in "Valley Girl," where
daughter Moon Unit (aged 14 at the time) pastiches rich
girls from the San Fernando Valley. Released as a
single, it became a novelty hit, climbing into the Top
40 in the U.S., a rare (and not necessarily
sought-after) experience for Zappa. Side two presents
three live tracks, two of which are difficult rock
instrumentals. "Drowning Witch" may be one of his
hardest pieces to perform. This album clearly lacks
ambition and tends to get lost among the man's
humongous discography, but it should not be overlooked.
It contains a few good songs ("No Not Now" is quite
entertaining), strong guitar work from Zappa and Steve
Vai, and it is not defaced by the cold 1980s sound of
subsequent albums.
